FUR Baby TLC
Pet care experience
I have grown up taking care of pets. Mostly dogs and cats, and one rabbit. I currently have several daily care clients in Destin that are very satisfied with my TLC of their fur babies. I treat all fur babies as my own. I'm currently attending online school to become a certified dog trainer and will be extending my services to dog training soon. I am currently taking courses in dog CPR and first aid for pet sitters. I make sure I know any behaviors/ other needs I need to be aware of at the meet and greet so I can keep all pets safe and happy. I do request that all dogs be up to date on their rabies vaccination for the safety of all pets. I am a CNA with the state of FL and they require a level 2 background check to be performed every 2 years in addition to that of Rover performs. I'm happy to share references to you upon request.
Reviews
Barbara is a kind and thoughtful caregiver. I would trust her with any pet. People can feel comfortable that she will do all she can to make their animals feel cared for while she is with them
Barbara was a fantastic caregiver for Taffy. It was obvious she put a lot of love into her commitment because her dogs were very happy, and Taffy came back after five days totally relaxed and happy. I would highly recommend this host.
Thank for taking good care of my baby girl!
Barbara took great care of my 3 dogs, she sent great updates too and was very responsive to all communication! Even worked with me regarding drop off time as I got held up at work! Thanks Barbara

I come care for your pets in your home most of the time. I will only accept pets to be boarded at my home on a case by case basis (emergency evacuation for storms).

Information Barbara K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you' fur baby has any special needs at the time of meet and greet or request for siiter/walker. I will try to accommodate special needs if any, as much as possible. I've found innovated ways to get dogs to take medication if needed (post op pain meds, etc). Also will need to know about any specific behavior traits (counter surfing/ food aggression) to keep your fur baby as safe as possible.
A typical day
I love to stimulate with games, treat puzzles, take them for walks in the neighborhood, and sometimes if it's ok with pet parents, go to the local Dog Park to socialize and play with other dogs. I love taking photos and videos of your fur babies and send them to their pet parents to show how much fun they are having. I am willing to pick up any mess your fur baby may make. I keep sanitizer wipes, baby wipes, doggy pick up bags with me.
